Happy 2012

Happy New Year!
New year, new beginning...
To welcome the new year, we did something different this year. We checked ourselves into a hotel at the heart of all the happening...near KLCC. We went around lunch time on the eve, checked-in, had lunch, rest in our room, went for dinner and watched performanced leading to the countdown and then finally the firework.
Everything was good except that the fireworks were too laud for the kids. They were afraid.

The kids got excited with the changed of environment. Jumping on the bed for 20 mins after we checked in.

Malaysia's iconic building. This is as good as we can get. Clear sky and almost postcard like background.

Not sure how much she understand what she was reading.

We received complimentary cupcakes that said '2012' and 'Happy New Year'. The kids were eyeing the icing.

Waiting for the fireworks to start just outside the hotel entrance.

Fireworks literally 'rained' on us. The hotel conceirge warned us about the falling ashes and gave us umbrella. However, it was too laud for the kids. Chloe was crying and Lucas was hiding behind me. I had to take them into the hotel lobby before the fireworks end.

Lucas asked for breakfast in bed and we gave him the experience. Seen here still in pyjamas. We went to sleep at 1am and the breakfast came at 8.45am!
